i believe nibali is clean. he has been outspoken about doping in the past, saying he would be a 'worm' to betray the trust of his parents, who supported him in developing his career. that's more convincing that 'i've never tested positive'.

Maybe he is ?? They seem pretty compelling words but then so were these....

Apologies to Nibali if he is indeed clean, but it's fairly pointless using an argument like that given what we've heard before (and not just from Armstrong).

Nibali certainly is looking the goods. Evans didn't so much have a bad day as Nibali had a great day. All it needs to get some time back is for Evans to have a great day and/or Nibali to have a not so good day. I suppose when we get well into the third week and fatigue is getting even worse than it must be now we'll see if anyone can make up time on Nibali. As it stands, if he holds his form, no-one can make up the time.

His pride is on the line as well. Could be close to Nibali catchin his 3min man

Can see Cadel falling off the podium over the next 2 days. Uran and co are going to go for broke.

Couldn't believe earlier in tonight's coverage when the commentators were saying Cadel looked smooth and Nibali all over the place. I thought the complete opposite. Nibali looked comfortable and smooth from the get go.

Mind you, he's still doing damn well. Came into the Giro under prepared, ansd written off by many. There are two stages where he has lost time, but has still remained in 2nd place on GC and 2nd in the Points classification (by 4 pts to Cavendish) in what has been VERY testing conditions.

Nibali is super strong and deserves to win.

Cadel is still positive and upfront, and not blaming others, so whilst saddened a bit by todays outcome, still very happy for him and hope he stays in 2nd.
